Current Exhibition

Deities and Devotion in Mongolian Buddhist Art explores the role that art plays in the religious beliefs and devotional practices
of Mongolian Tantric Buddhism. The exhibition features 130 paintings, drawings, prints,
sculptures and ritual objects from the Kruizenga Art Museum collection and a California
private collection. Most of the artworks date from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and many of the paintings, sculptures and other objects were used in devotional
rituals by both ordained clerics and lay believers.

Deities and Devotion in Mongolian Buddhist Art was organized by the staff of the Kruizenga Art Museum. The museum is immensely grateful
to David Kamansky and Gerald Wheaton for donating and lending most of the artworks
featured in the exhibition. The museum also thanks Dr. Ronald ’62 and Gerri Vander
Molen, who donated funds to purchase additional artworks for the exhibition; Garrett
Fixx ’20, the museum’s spring 2019 John H. Dryfhout ’64 Intern, who helped design
the exhibition and prepare the artworks for display; and Tom Wagner ’84, who designed
and produced the accompanying exhibition catalog.

Admission to the exhibition is free, and all are welcome.
